There is so  much eyeroll worthy stuff in this, i don't know where to begin. But i find the bolded parts the biggest WTF?! moment i had in a while (concerning anything written about Exalted 3e and the discussions surrounding it, i mean).
Where i just had to LOL hard was the part about the Devs not taking sides...yeah right...are you fucking kidding me?! She must be totally blind and tone-deaf or well...just totally delusional.

Yeah, that's just, I really don't know what too say.

Quote from: Celestial;882841What I found amusing is that I was banned from RPG.net for a day for pointing that out.

TBP really insists on etiquette.

I know I'm probably being paranoid but it still strikes me as weird
 how many users seem to pop up to support the Devs or the Exalted status quo with odd low post counts even if they're listed as registered for years like "Joe Smoke" here who seems to post less than once a year on average (or in short bursts followed a long silence) though mostly about Exalted.

Maybe it is an indication of some Silent Majority lurking behind vocal masses on forums or just how popular the game is and strong feelings it evokes. But in any case, it seems odd.

Lurkers aren't actually weird, but the last paragraph sounds like a troll, indeed.

Quote from: Anglachel;883030Well, she posted something

I just have my ... reservations ... about her. She being a mod does not make things better.

Anyway...

Here is one of the newest...contributions...from her.

To be honest, I don't know what surprised you in the statement that she doesn't understand the critiques, the game seems to be totally up her alley.

I hope you're being sarcastic.

Surprised? No i am not...i said eyeroll worthy and WTF?!-Moments.

No, Lurkers aren't weird and I'm will aware of what a Lurker is.

 But how so many of them seem to pop up or people that are suddenly motivated to create accounts which are then never heard from again) to defend Exalted after sometimes years of silence is little odd. As is the regularity that happens in a very specific situation. The fact that so many of the staff are either working on Exalted or fervent supporters adds to the fishy aspect even more so when some mods have created sock accounts in the past over there and I know a few people personally that have abandoned their accounts their and gotten reports of activity from them, seen abandoned active for no known reason, among other things that hint at some possible shenanigans.

And its certainly not something I'd consider beneath any of the staff there or some of the more obnxious fans,  

But your snide condescending manner of disagreement is appreciated as always.

Quote from: Anglachel;883099I hope you're being sarcastic.

I'd say they insist on "etiquette(more like false manners, adhering to the officially sanctioned opinions and shit eating) from some. Remember: All Animals are Equal but some are more Equal than others.

Her overall shift in attitude was surprising. She went from being one of the games most vocal critics to an undying fan after a conversation with Holden than neither will discuss. I forget if this was previous to or after her promotion to Mod status. I think it was before but I can't say that with any certainty. I know she stopped posting her after her promotion.

But the shift in her tone and attitude was so swift and extreme as to be mildly jarring.

Maybe she did have a change of heart or there was some revelation of the secrets of Exalted that changed her mind. Maybe Holden is just really charming one on one. Who knows but you're not privy to what happen (not that we have a right to be) it really seems odd.

Nothing is damning but its enough to make one wonder.

Some of thr things she said in the particular post did seem off. Like how the upcoming books were all but written in light of how many times the developers have plead off on answering questions about the line because the products were still in development or barely in the concept stages.

One of the admins made an interesting comment yesterday (?) in a Godbound thread...

Quote from: Sytthas;882829May be referring to SLS who avowed something to that effect and who has been involved at least in editing Ex3.

Certainly may be others, too, though.

Who's "SLS"?

Godbound does a good job, apparently.

probaly this one.

Quote from: JamesCatJust read the beta files. It's so gloriously concise, imaginative, playable, and smoothly put together.

It's also completely killed any interest I had in running Exalted 3E using the Exalted system.

Not being up to date on all the internal workings of this particular train wreck, is this just some uninvolved mod on Exalted 3's favorite forum or a serious case of:

REEPLES!

How endearing, I'll have to check that out.

OK, so this guy has been posting on a forum for roleplaying games for years, yet has never played roleplaying games?
